ChrUtmos. 1960 — Hondel's Me lah” Oolden Door. 19 2 ll wo} a thrilling oxperionco to work night and day with ooch other, trying to perfect our presentation for the public. From ups ond downj of rehearsals to tho borrol for props — oil of If was my heaven. I was completely hoppy and thankful that it wat I who was at Regina. The class was exhausted but hoppy with the success of our first presentation. Cathy Hanson Tonight was our dross rehoorsal for Tho Golden Door Whot a long woy we've come from those first practices! Coming to the now school for practice before it wos finished is something I'll never forgot. The building was so new, and smelled of point, ond wood, and dust. The rooms that ore so fomillor now were all strange and dark. I guess we really foil privileged to use the new Regina before ony-ono else. The ploy, too, wos entirely different then, Only the first act ol the script hod been completed. Tho dance numbors were |ust names — woitlng patiently for an Imaginative choreographer,- the script just words, lacking actors and action; the songs unfamiliar; the sconory. all left to the imagination. Then, after weeks of the Sisters' ond students' time, patience. ond grueling reheorsols. (which no one would hove missed for the world', it wos suddenly there — music, script, stops, action, ond even scenery - completed!
